Assume that you have taken a job with a new start-up company as the new Data Center Manager. This company is brand new. The owner/manager is a young couple who been working only from their two laptops up to this point. They have acquired venture capital and are now building a company. They have purchased a 10,000 sq. ft. facility in which to house their offices and Data Center (the Data Center will be allocated to 3,000 sq. ft. of the space). They intend to hire approximately 20 employees and you will be allowed to hire 1 other person to work in the Data Center initially. Where do you start? What will you need? Discuss hardware, software, security, policies, etc. It is all on you. [Note: It is fair that you can use “Cloud Computing” for a SMALL portion of your answer. However, do not tell me this entire Data Center will be cloud-based! That is beyond the scope of this course and is not an acceptable answer.]

A problem facing shoe store managers is that many shoes eventually must be sold at markdown prices. This prompts us to conduct a mail survey of shoe store managers in which we ask, What methods have you found most successful for reducing the problem of high markdowns? We are interested in extracting as much information as possible from these answers to better understand the full range of strategies that store managers’ use. Establish what you think are category sets to code 500 responses similar to the 14 given here. Try to develop an integrated set of categories that reflects your theory of markdown management. After developing that set, use it to code the 14 responses. a. Have not found the answer. As long as we buy style shoes, we will have markdowns. We use PMs on slow merchandise, but it does not eliminate markdowns. (PM stands for “push-money” – special item bonuses for selling a particular style of shoe.) b. Using PMs before too old. Also reducing price during season. Holding meetings with salespeople indicating which shoes to push. c. By putting PMs on any slow-selling items and promoting same. More careful check of shoes purchased. d. Keep a close watch on your stock, and mark down when you have to – that is, rather than wait, take a small markdown on a shoe that is not moving at the time. e. Using the PM method. f. Less advance buying – more dependence on in-stock shoes. g. Sales – catch bad guys before it is too late and close out. h. Buy as much good merchandise as you can at special prices to help make up some markdowns. i. Reducing opening buys and depending on fill-in service. PMs for salespeople. j. Buy more frequently, better buying, PMs on slow-moving merchandise. k. Careful buying at lowest prices. Cash on the buying line. Buying closeouts, FDs overstock, “cancellations.” (FD stands for “factory-discontinued” style.) l. By buying less “chanceable” shoes. Buy only what you need, watch sizes, do not go overboard with new fads. m. Buying more staple merchandise. Buying more from fewer lines. Sticking with better nationally advertised merchandise. n. No successful method with the current style situation. Manufacturers are experimenting, the retailer takes the markdowns – cuts gross profit by about 3 percent – keep your stock at lowest level without losing sales.
